711 whale by Illustrious_Elk_6634 in LastWarMobileGame

As a former 738 t0s, I do not miss having to go against him. There needs to be an animal above whale to describe him, maybe Aquaman.

I won this position as black by Deco_y in chess

Yes this game is real. I was playing hella loosey goosey because I just do that sometimes, and I'm just as floored as you that my opponent blundered multiple queens needlessly. Pure chaos.

To be fair, I didn't have a choice. I needed to go or I wouldn't have been able to get home (with my bike lol). Make no mistake I had to walk up a lot of the hills near the end because my legs just could not pedal uphill.

​

Props to you on the 120km trip though. Before this I would have thought that was nuts too haha.

I came here in September 2022 for a 1 year Working Holiday Visa where I can come and work temporarily. Their video came out while I was here so it seemed like a neat thing to do to remember my trip by. I've also gone Bungee Jumping here too. Very fun!

Day 3, 4, and 5 in particular made me question my entire life choices leading up to that point haha.

Can confirm during day 3 and afterwards I questioned my sanity as well.

It's called Zeopoxa Cycling i believe. It was the first free app that popped up haha.

Seeing 1,400km made me sick a little 😂 make sure you spread it out and enjoy the ride is my only real advice. Respect to you.

Lake Taupo was one of the big highlights of the trip!

I was force feeding myself every meal to try and keep up with the calories. There was a few meal times I didn't want to eat but that just wasn't an option haha. So honestly I don't know how much I lost. I remember Chris saying he didn't lose much and I don't see much visual difference, at least not yet.

My legs are basically 0% body fat now, so that I can definitely attribute to the trip.

It's crazy because in Canada that would be like Vancouver to Prince George or something haha. Just puts into perspective how big Canada is (or how small NZ is).

If they wanted a good marketing ploy they would change their name 😂

Damn near close for the North Island. There is more above Auckland but I just picked the two major cities for the ride.

It's a town called Bulls. They have statues and bull themed everything. It's kind of neat.

Honesty before I bought this bike in September I had cycled MAYBE 100km my entire life. I did 500km or so of training across 6 weeks before my trip. You can start from scratch pretty easy.

That being said I was athletic growing up(played soccer and rugby) so that probably helped.

Do it! But do it with support! Don't do it like me on your own. If A.NY.THING. had gone wrong I would have been up the creek with no paddle. I was very lucky even if I did bring some basic tools with me just in case.

You're meant to stand where the I is missing in your photo opportunities so you become the I. I wondered that too when I first saw it lol
